College Scholarships Fair hosted by Mount Washington Valley Promotions Does your non-profit organization or business offer scholarships to graduating students or those already in post-secondary programs? If so, we are reaching out for your help with an event we have planned for November.
We have discovered that many students don't know about the local scholarships that are available to them, or don't know which ones they are eligible for. For the past couple of years, we have been working toward a Scholarship Fair where those who award scholarships can meet with those seeking scholarships to explain
what they offer, who qualifies for the funds and what is involved in applying.
Details are in the final stages but the Scholarship Fair will be held on Wednesday, November 19th from 6-8pm at the North Conway Community Center. It will be open to ALL students from Kennett High School, the Community School in Tamworth and Fryeburg Academy, as well as home-schooled students, and their parents.
More information will be coming soon.
